So are we going to get a crowner, or what? I know the Shilling the Wesley crowner was updated, but shouldn't it be here too? Or something?
I don't know, but having the merge or not crowner centered on the less-used of the tropes to be merged seems silly.
NaNo 4328 / 50,000
Crowner has been added, by someone :)

By me, with all options that I'm aware of.

It is 18:6 for merging. Let's call this one tomorrow afternoon and do the work.

Calling at 22:6. Locking the crowner and marking the thread for final action. Let's use the other thread to settle the definition and discuss the work, but I'll leave this open so the article stays tagged.

The Wesley was renamed Creator's Pet. The wick cleanup and merge with Shilling the Wesley will take place elsewhere. Locking this thread.

Crown Description:
The Wesley as a trope has a number of issues.- It is named after a character in an aging work.
- It fails the One Mario Limit.
- The Trope Namer is not solely known for the aspect described by this trope.
- It is partially dependent for its definition on Shilling The Wesley, a trope that bases its definition on this one.
- It is continually confused with The Scrappy.
- The term "Wesley" as used in this context is a TV Tropes creation and is not in widespread use outside the wiki.
- There is significant misuse in the form of wicks that refer to the character that is the Trope Namer.
- It has 927 wicks and 25,433 inbounds, so we must preserve the title (via redirect at least).

As long as we all agree that we're just not changing the image right now, but that it might be changed in the future. I absolutely do not want a situation where someone suggests a better image a year from now and someone from this thread comes in and says "sorry, we made an agreement never to change this image a year ago!"
That's silly. I don't feel that we can arbitrarily constrain later discussions with the outcome of this one, especially since the page image isn't even really the topic here.
